Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts' opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.	Numismatic Rarity Numismatic Rarity converts the Survival Estimate for a particular coin into a number from 1 to 10 (with decimal increments) based on the PCGS Rarity Scale. The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity By Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.	Relative Rarity By Series Relative Rarity By Series ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Series. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.

Ron Guth:

Proof 1913 Half Dollars have a mintage that is about average for the series (627 pieces), but the Proof versions are in greater demand because of the small mintage and greater scarcity of the 1913 circulation strikes. Gem examples are fairly plentiful and the overall quality of this date is among the highest for the series. Cameo examples are very scarce (but available), but it is doubtful if any Proof 1913 Half Dollar will ever qualify as a Deep Cameo.
